Day 214 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends

The Lakers are the world champions and Grayson had a second incident-free day today – Woo Hoo! It is a bit humbling to be relieved that there were no bad reports. In all the years of parenting Grayson to adulthood, "bad" reports were something we rarely received.

Following his regular rest period after returning home from the clinic, he helped prepare dinner, took out the trash, checked the mail and did his therapeutic home program (THP). After THPs, he went over to the rec center for Art Therapy. He spent quite a bit of time painting a box, before running out of steam. He returned to his apartment and got ready for bed right away.

I spoke with Grayson before the start of the fourth quarter (like I wasn't watching the NBA Finals!), about 8:00, and he was already in bed, but not yet asleep. He remembered nothing of his day, his activities, or his dinner. We chatted for a bit, and I told him that I loved him – something he appeared to enjoy hearing. In spite of his severe challenges, Grayson is still a great joy.

Pax!
